Each Tuesday, Spacing Montreal will share some posts from our sister blog, Spacing Toronto<\/a>. We hope it will fuel constructive dialogue on the urban issues faced by both cities.<\/em><\/p>\n

The don of a new waterfront<\/a>
\nIan Malczewski posts a video that tours the Lower Donlands, presenting artist renderings and plans for the area as hosted by urban designer Ken Greenberg. A dramatic take from Waterfront Toronto on the Lower Donlands’ past, present, and potential future.<\/p>\n

Tamil protest: the taking of the Gardiner Expressway<\/a>
\nShawn Micallef remarks on literal claims over public space, reviewing the blockage of the Gardiner Expressway during a protest against the Sri Lankan government’s treatment of Tamils. Note especially the (incendiary) discussion on the merits of shutting down public transportation arteries. <\/p>\n

A day at the Works Committee<\/a>
\nDylan Reid recounts his day of fun at the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee; read about debates over the city’s streetscapes and its Walking Strategy (including drama over the possibility of no right-turns on red-lights, fancy that!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
